Assembly For A Cable Feedthrough
The invention relates to an assembly for a cable passthrough in a wall, with a cable feedthrough (1; 20) including: a sealing section (2) made from a soft plastic component, the sealing section (2) having an opening (4) extending in the lengthwise direction for sealing accommodation of a cable that is to be passed through a housing wall; a strain relief (3) made from a hard plastic component, which is formed integrally onto the sealing section (2) and has a passthrough (5) in the lengthwise direction for the cable that is to be passed through, which passthrough (5) is aligned with the opening (4); and a slotting arrangement (6) which extends over the sealing section (2) and the strain relief (3) in the lengthwise direction of the cable feedthrough (1; 20) and through which the cable to be passed through can be introduced into the opening (4) and the passthrough (5) from the outside from a direction transverse to the lengthwise direction.
CABLE GLAND WITH PRESSURE DOME TIGHTENING MECHANISMS AND METHOD FOR EARTHING A CABLE
A cable gland and method for earthing, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland includes compressible fingers with the ability to compress or expand about a cable inserted in and through the cable gland, and an adjustable earthing coil arranged internally inside a part of the cable gland that secures around a cable inserted in the cable gland. When fully coiled, the adjustable earthing coil is relaxed and as the adjustable earthing coil is expanded it generates a restoring force. An earthing strap attached to the adjustable earthing coil in the cable gland, provides grounding capabilities to the cable gland.
CABLE CONNECTOR
A connector is configured to secure a configured to secure a conductor to an electrical box. The connector includes a body having an outer wall with a terminal edge, and a passageway extending along a longitudinal axis. A plurality of fingers is coupled to the body and extends toward the longitudinal axis. The plurality of fingers is cantilevered with the body. Each finger of the plurality of fingers includes a slot that provides communication into the passageway. The slot extends from the terminal edge of the body substantially along the length of each finger.
CABLE GLAND
A cable gland sealing member comprising: a sleeve (19) arranged to be slidably received within a passage (9) defined in a body (5) of a cable gland, the sleeve 919) arranged to receive a settable sealing material for forming a seal to a cable passing through the sleeve, wherein the sleeve (19) is defined by an annular side wall extending along an axial length; wherein an outer surface (71) of the sleeve (19) includes a tapered portion (95) such that the external diameter of the sleeve (19) widens in the tapered portion (95); and wherein the outer surface (71) of the sleeve (19) is arranged to form a seal with the cable gland body (5). A cable gland is also disclosed using such a sealing member.
TUBE-HOLDING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
A vehicular tube-holding device includes an outer holder mounted to a vehicle body, the outer holder having an inner holder fastening hole for insertion and fastening of an inner holder and a tube-fixing hole for passage of a tube; and the inner holder inserted into and fastened to the inner holder fastening hole in the outer holder to be in close contact with an outer-diameter portion of the tube.
Cable gland and method and apparatus for earthing a cable
A cable gland and method for earthing, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland includes an adjustable earthing coil arranged internally in a gland body of the cable gland that secures around a cable inserted in the cable gland. When fully coiled, the adjustable earthing coil is relaxed and as the adjustable earthing coil is expanded it generates a restoring force. An earthing strap attached to the adjustable earthing coil in the cable gland, provides grounding capabilities to the cable gland.
Raintight fitting for jacketed metal clad cables
A raintight fitting has a fitting body including a plurality of first cable passageways configured to receive electrical cables. The first cable passageways converge into a second cable passageway, and the second cable passageway is configured to receive the conductors from plural cables received in the first cable passageways. A plurality of cable locks are each located at respective first cable passageways, are engageable with the cables received in the first cable passageways, and are configured to (i) secure the cables within the first cable passageways, and (ii) provide an electrically conductive path between the metallic covering of each cable and the fitting body. A raintight seal extends about the periphery of each first cable passageway, and is configured to form a raintight seal between (i) the fitting body and the electrical cables received within the first cable passageways and (ii) between the first cable passageways and ambient atmosphere. A raintight connector is connectable to a conduit for receiving conductors in the second cable passageway, and is configured to form a raintight seal between (i) the conduit and the fitting body and (ii) the second cable passageway and ambient atmosphere.
Cable Sealing Gland
A cable sealing gland and method for securing a cable to an enclosure. The cable sealing gland includes a gland connector configured to be coupled to the cable, having a cable gland body sized to fit over the cable and including a first end sized to remain outside the enclosure when the gland connector is inserted through a hole of the enclosure and a second end sized to extend into an interior of the enclosure when the gland connector is inserted through the hole. The gland connector also includes a ferrule sized to fit inside the cable gland body, and a compression bolt configured to engage the cable gland body to compress the ferrule onto the cable. The cable sealing gland also includes a locknut configured to engage the cable gland body to couple the gland connector to the enclosure.
RAINTIGHT FITTING FOR JACKETED METAL CLAD CABLES
A raintight fitting has a fitting body including a plurality of first cable passageways configured to receive electrical cables. The first cable passageways converge into a second cable passageway, and the second cable passageway is configured to receive the conductors from plural cables received in the first cable passageways. A plurality of cable locks are each located at respective first cable passageways, are engageable with the cables received in the first cable passageways, and are configured to (i) secure the cables within the first cable passageways, and (ii) provide an electrically conductive path between the metallic covering of each cable and the fitting body. A raintight seal extends about the periphery of each first cable passageway, and is configured to form a raintight seal between (i) the fitting body and the electrical cables received within the first cable passageways and (ii) between the first cable passageways and ambient atmosphere. A raintight connector is connectable to a conduit for receiving conductors in the second cable passageway, and is configured to form a raintight seal between (i) the conduit and the fitting body and (ii) the second cable passageway and ambient atmosphere.
